A few reminders:
*Please remind your child to show you their planner and folder every day.
*Empty your child's take home folder each night.
*Remember to write your child's lunch number on lunch checks and tell them that you've put it in their folder to be turned in.
*Please return all Open House forms if you took them home.
*Send all missing supplies to school - we'll be using most of them by next week (check the supply list here:
http://schools.district279.org/wd/images/stories/WD/doc/school_supply_list.pdf
*Help your child get lots of rest and a good breakfast so they come energized and ready to learn.
*We got a new air conditioning system over the summer, so our classroom is on the chilly side. Consider sending a sweatshirt with your child to school.
Next week we will dig into Reader's Workshop routines and begin building our independent reading stamina! Don't forget that you can check the "Peek at the Week" tab above to see more information about each day/week and eventually what homework is due. I also try to blog at least once a month so make sure you bookmark this site! Email me with any questions. Congratulations...your kiddo is officially a first grader! ;)
Have a great weekend,
~ Mrs. Housman
